“The hedges - yes, the hedges, the very synonym of Merry England - are yet there, and long may they remain. Without hedges England would not be England.

You do not know how much there is in the hedges. (1884)” NatureWalkingLandscapeHedges Book:The Life of the Fields, by Richard Jeffries .. Source: The Life of the Fields, by Richard Jeffries ..
